Getting Started Charging the main battery 49 The computer's main battery light gives you an indication of the main battery's current charge: ❖ Glows amber while the main battery is being charged (AC adapter connected) ❖ Glows blue when the main battery is fully charged ❖ Is unlit when the main battery has discharged, the battery is not charging, or the AC adapter is not plugged into the computer or AC outlet ❖ Flashes amber when the main battery charge is low and it is time to recharge the main battery or plug in the AC adapter NOTE If the AC power light flashes amber during charging, either the main battery is malfunctioning, or it is not receiving correct input from the AC power supply. Disconnect the AC power cord/cable and remove the main battery pack. See "Changing the main battery" on page 109 for information on replacing the main battery.
